Sanju Samson's T20 World Cup Hopes Dwindle After Golden Duck in India's Series Win
- •Sanju Samson was clean bowled for a golden duck by Matt Henry in the third T20 against New Zealand, raising concerns about his form.
- •This follows scores of 10 and 6 in the previous two matches, putting his T20 World Cup spot in jeopardy.
- •India secured an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match T20 series with a comfortable victory.
- •Ravi Bishnoi (2/18) and Jasprit Bumrah restricted New Zealand to 153/9 after India opted to bowl first.
- •Abhishek Sharma (68* off 20 balls) and Suryakumar Yadav (57* off 26 balls) led India to victory, with Abhishek scoring the second-fastest T20I fifty for India in 14 balls.
Why It Matters: Sanju Samson's poor form, including a golden duck, casts doubt on his T20 World Cup selection despite India's dominant series win.
